Feldman Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 (202) 994-5919 (voice) (202) 994-5296 (fax) mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu (Internet) December 10 is the birth date of Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace, assistant to Charles Babbage. Ada was born on this date in 1815, and it is for her that the Ada programming language is named. In celebration of Ada's birthday, and of the recent delivery of the revised Ada standard to ISO headquarters for publication just after the start of 1995, the Ada Educational Software Group at The George Washington University, Washington, DC, is pleased to announce an updated release of GW-Ada/Ed-Mac, an Ada 83 development environment for Apple Macintosh computers. ABOUT THE GW-Ada/Ed-Mac DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT GW-Ada/Ed-Mac is a development environment built around the New York University (NYU) AdaEd compiler/interpreter. It allows the editing, compiling, binding and execution of Ada 83 programs. GW-Ada/Ed-Mac was supervised by Prof. Michael B. Feldman. Manuel A. Perez, a GWU doctoral student in Computer Science, is responsible for the Macintosh version, including the editor and developer shell. The December 1994 release is due mostly to Fabrizio Oddone, a known shareware developer in Italy. This release changes nothing in the functionality of the system. However compilation is speeded up by a factor of anywhere from 4 to greater than 10. Further, Fabrizio's work includes a version that will run on a PowerMac in native instead of emulation mode. There is also a version for Mac-SE-class machines, running System 7 with a 68000 processor. ACQUIRING AND INSTALLING GW-Ada/Ed-Mac FROM AN FTP ARCHIVE GW-Ada/Ed-Mac can be acquired by anonymous ftp from these sources: Public Ada Library, wuarchive.wustl.edu, directory languages/ada/compiler/adaed/gwu/mac George Washington University, ftp.gwu.edu, directory pub/ada/gw-adaed/mac. You need to copy and download four files, in addition to readme.mac. The first three are: -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 155782 Feb 28 1994 adaprogs.sea.hqx -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 24329 Feb 28 1994 readme.nyu -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 11182 Feb 28 1994 userman.mac The first file is a set of demonstration programs; see below. The second file is the original NYU document for Ada/Ed; you don't need it to run this system, but it contains useful background information. The last file is a brief user manual for GW-Ada/Ed-Mac; you can open it with any ASCII editor or Word Processor; we recommend that you open it with the GW-Ada/Ed-Mac editor, once you've installed the system. The system itself is available in four versions; you need download only the one that suits your needs: -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 1020301 Dec 8 18:15 gwada-se.sea.hqx -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 1052724 Dec 8 18:16 gwada68k.sea.hqx -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 1359029 Dec 8 18:19 gwadappc.sea.hqx -rw-r--r-- 1 mfeldman user 1817962 Dec 8 18:18 gwadafat.sea.hqx gwada-se.sea.hqx is the version for a 68000 processor; gwada68k.sea.hqx is the version for 68020, 68030, and 68040 processors; gwadappc.sea.hqx is the native PowerMac version, and gwadafat.sea.hqx contains "fat" binaries that will run on either 68k or PPC machines. We are distributing these versions as separate archives to facilitate redistribution on diskettes; note that all but the "fat" binaries will fit on a single 1.4mb diskette. The files gwada*.sea.hqx and adaprogs.sea.hqx are BinHex-ed self-extracting Stuffit archives. Once you've downloaded the files to your Mac, you need to use the BinHex utility program to un-encode them. BinHex is a free program that you can pick up from any Mac archive or user group. We hope you enjoy using GW-Ada/Ed!
